Dropping off Donations

The library accepts donations between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Small donations (i.e. what someone can carry) may be brought to the circulation desk, and large donations may be delivered to the loading dock entrance. For large donations, the circulation desk will forward the donor to the appropriate party to request a delivery appointment.

The library will provide a tax receipt upon request. We cannot, however,assign a dollar value to any donation.
